BenRiach releases single malt in its most non-diluted form

A Scotch whisky in its purest form has been released.

Whisky explorers searching for a glimpse into the spirit of BenRiach distillery have the chance to experiment with this emerging Speyside single malt in its most non-diluted form, with the release of BenRiach Cask Strength – Batch 2.

Following onĀ from the successful release of Cask Strength – Batch 1, BenRiach distillery MasterĀ Blender Rachel Barrie has hand-picked a small selection from 2006, 2007 andĀ 2008 to create this rich, smooth, triple-cask matured expression.

This single malt continues BenRiachā€™s reputation for rich, innovative caskĀ maturation by combining cask strength whisky matured in bourbon barrels,Ā Oloroso sherry casks and virgin oak hogsheads.

It has a richer and smoother tasteĀ profile to its award-winning predecessor, BenRiach Cask Strength – Batch 1, which
won a Silver Outstanding award at the International Wine and Spirits CompetitionĀ in 2016.

Announcing the release of BenRiach Cask Strength – Batch 2, BenRiach DistilleryĀ Master Blender Rachel Barrie, said: ‘Cask Strength Batch 2 is BenRiach in its most unadulterated state. At caskĀ strength 60.6%, the drinker can taste straight from the vat, without chill-filtration,Ā water or colour addition.

‘Richly matured bourbon, Oloroso and virgin oak casks take the drinker on anĀ adventure through the BenRiach Speyside warehouses. To the eye a goldenĀ summer harvest, to the nose toffee apple with a ginger spiced zing, and to theĀ tongue layers of crĆØme-caramel, chocolate and lime-glazed nectarine.

‘At caskĀ strength, the drinker can explore every layer of flavour, and choose whether orĀ not to add water to taste. BenRiach Cask strength Batch 2 is for those who wantĀ to experiment with whisky taste and explore for themselves.’

BenRiach Cask Strength Batch 2 is available to purchase from specialist retailersĀ worldwide from March, with an ABV of 60.6%, non-chill filtered and of naturalĀ colour.
